your favorite, protein packed, dinner?

I'm a meat lover so my favorite dinner starts with chicken, fish or turkey - grilled, roasted, baked, steamed (for fish) - just about any ol' way but fried. Loaded with Protein, very filling and you stay full a long time. Add some veggies on the side and I'm a happy guy!

My local grocery store puts together this stuffed salmon. It is stuffed with some sort of cheese and it is so yummy!!

Hi, looking for some new foods to cook...I am not having much luck when cooking theses days.

Would love some new ideas. I'm burned out with the old classics. I still can't handle chicken so that's out.

Me too chicken is something I can't handle and it's almost been a year. I used to love chicken now it makes me sick.

I have found my chicken has to be moist. My pouch does not like dry poultry. I have found that Boston markets chicken is pretty good.

I have to say a mixed green salad with hard boiled egg , cucumbers , red and green peppers , red onions , tomatoes , sunflower seeds , Texas toast croutons... I live on this ... I have tried pork loin, pot roast. Roasted chicken , and no luck with handling any of it...now I am addicted to Wendy's chili which gives me 18 grams of protein

I love veggies so much I do have to make sure I do the protein push 1st or I'd live on veggies. Chili from Wendy's is another saving grace on the run for me too. I tried turkey today also and the turkey didn't sit well.

Can I ask you guys something? I'm only one week post op, so I'm on 2ounce servings of the soft stuff for a while. Eventually, when I get to "regular" food, how much do you find you can eat? Is it all protein, or do you balance with veg and, if with veg, is it like one bite of protein and one bite of veg?

Everyone has a different plan but mine is to keep it around a cup of food total pre meal half of that being protein, than ¼ fruit or veggie last ¼ starch eaten in that order....I am just going on 8 weeks and moving on to this phase I can do about 2oz of chicken and couple bites of some veggie forget the starch lol

. I'm closing in on a year and I'm around a cup total per meal as well (sometimes 4 bites and I'm done, it's crazy). About 1/2 protein, a couple bites of starch, the rest veggies.

I get about 1/4 to 1/2 cup ... Always protein first , then vegetables ... I supplement my protein through out the day with unjury unflavored , kind nut bars, pure protein bars ...salads with hard boiled egg and sunflower seeds...

I'm eight months out, and I can eat about 3/4 cup if it's hard protein like beef, or about a cup if it's more like yogurt. I always eat 1/2 protein first, followed by veggies, and then complex carbs . I usually don't make it past a bite of veggies.

It's interesting, I think. As much as we think (should?) have balanced meals (protein, veg, carb), I know protein is most important. So if you're like me and love veggies, I can imagine having to be very conscious about maybe 2 bites protein, one bite veg, 2 bites protein, one bite starch... How are you all getting your veg in if you're focused mostly on protein?

I'm with you...I'm a veggie lover, and definitely not a natural meat eater. Sometimes I just eat salad for lunch, sometimes I eat vegetarian meals. I track my protein intake, and if I have salad, I might have an extra protein drink to increase my protein that way. As far as being balanced, it does balance out...I'm still getting veg, and protein, just less of each. But there's no way I could get all my nutritional needs met through food alone; I simply don't take in enough calories. That's why vitamins are so important. We have to take them for life.
